I Think So

I grew up on a farm and we never had an alarm clock we had an old rooster and every morning he would wake my dad three hundred sixty five days a year He never said I think I will sleep in today and not do my job I don't think so He was just doing the job that God gave him to do and never complained And the little hen does she know that when she lays her eggs and hatches her chicks that she is feeding our family I don't think so she is just doing the job that God gave her to do and doing it well she sings all day and never complains When the little birds pick up grass and string to build a nest in the corner of the house do they know they clog up the drain so the water won't run off I don't think so They are just doing the job that God gave them to do to feed their family and when they began to sing in the morning no choir on earth is more beautiful and they never complain I wonder why God didn't give us a bird brain then we could get up in the morning and instead of complaining we could go to work and lift up our voice to our heavenly Father and thank him for giving us our job Are we not greater than the rooster the hen and the birds I think so
